- The function divides the power between cooking zones connected to the same phase.
HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
Cookware
For induction cooking zones a strong electro-magnetic field creates the heat in the cookware very quickly. Use the induction cooking zones with the correct cookware.
- correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-layer (with correct mark from a manufacturer).
- not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
- some water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting.
- a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the cookware.
- The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically to some limit. The cooking zone efficiency is related to the diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a smaller diameter than the minimum receives only a part of the power generated by the cooking zone.Refer to the “Technical information” chapter.
- crack noise: cookware is made of different materials (sandwich construction).
- whistle sound: you use the cooking zone with high power level and the cookware is made of different materials (sandwich construction).
- humming: you use high power level.
- clicking: electric switching occurs.
- hissing, buzzing: the fan operates. The noises are normal and do not refer to hob malfunction.
Examples of cooking applications
The correlation between the heat setting of a zone and its consumption of power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting, it is not proportional to the increase of the consumption of power. It means that a cooking zone with the medium heat setting uses less than a half of its power The data in the table is for guidance only.
